That sounds fun, but you could have made some interest if you'd stuck that dough in a savings account, you know. ;)ElraptorMaybe I worded mine too strongly.
This is all I meant to say.
Bank accounts are pretty easy to set up with your parents.
The interest you earn won't be a lot, but will be more than nothing.
But think it's cool that you at least have mentality of delayed gratification. That's a good thing to have.
btw, the money is completely safe, i checked it 3 months ago.. i went to my old school and asked if they still had it.. its still therechicken_slasherThe money will certainly mean more to you when you're older, I would think.
I guess you didn't really have enough to open a CD or anything, really, anyway.

No one NEEDS gum.
How do you know that?

Because gum is a luxary(sp?)
Plus I'm sure he'd WAN'T to spend the money on something other than gum. When he's 18, if he goes out and buys $250 worth of gumballs then I will bow to you and take back every logical thing I've ever said.
